Is today’s I.C.E. Bone Spur Trump’s equivalent to Hitler’s Brownshirts, which was turned into Hitler’s private army of street thugs? Is I.C.E. the old U.S.’ Silvershirts, who can now threaten and intimidate people at will by splitting up families, even taking children from babies to teens from their parents.
They have begun to deport people who have been here, living lawful, peaceful lives some for up to thirty years, some who served honorably in the military and others who are legal immigrants and were awaiting citizenship. Yet Trump’s in-laws quest for citizenship was fast tracked while Trump is denying citizenship to others.
These I.C.E. people have a vast statutory power, a chilling new directive from the top inside America’s unfolding immigration tragedy. I.C.E. is the fastest growing bureaucracy than any agency in peacetime. The I.C.E. enforcers are Trump’s private army and they love him because these people are among the less educated, have profound inferiority complexes, and have an insatiable need for relevance and importance that clouds their judgment.
Today, I.C.E.’s mandate is to make life so fearful and miserable that people here legally will just give up their quest to become citizens and just leave. In 2012, Congress appropriated $18 billion for I.C.E. enforcement. Some $14 billion was spent for all the other major criminal law enforcement.
I.C.E., authorized in 2003 as part of Homeland Security under George W. Bush t counteract the mess his administration created, is consistently ranked among the worst workplaces in the federal government in 2016. The organization ranked 299th on a list of 305 agencies. Most I.C.E. employees only have a high school degree or its equivalent. They are looked upon with disdain from all other law enforcement agency employees.
The I.C.E. agents who recognize what the agency has become is not healthy are desperately trying to get into another law enforcement job. So, when you combine low education, low self-esteem, hating their jobs, how do you think they treat the people Trump has vilified and given permission to torment?
I.C.E. is teeming with racists. The government doesn’t have the resources to remove the nation’s 11 million undocumented immigrants, but it can create circumstances unpleasant enough to encourage them to leave on their own just like Hitler did to the Jews, and when that didn’t convince other Jews to leave, Hitler resorted to killing them. Are we here in the U.S. headed in the same direction as Hitler? If so, I do not want to be a part of it.
We need to vote for people who will stop Trump and his private army and work toward rebuilding the damage done by Trump and the cowardly, complicit Republican party.
These candidates have to support unions, minimum wage increase, healthcare for all, free education up to a bachelor’s degree, equitable housing and a universal basic income supported by making greedy corporations pay for renting our Commons and make these same corporations and ultra wealthy must bring back the cash they stashed in overseas’ banks to avoid paying their fair share in taxes. It is time these greedy, selfish people pay up or move overseas with their money.
In 2026 unions worldwide must educate and expand their memberships or face certain death. We need to educate our workers to understand that the republican party does not care about, does not deserve their support or votes and only cares about the billionaires. The GOP is their enemy and not their friends. The GOP and billionaires are the workers’ enemy. They want the workers’ sweat and blood for as cheap as they can get it. These greedy people and their insatiable appetite for more leaving us with much less will not stop until we’re forced to work for scraps and fighting each other for the pittance. They will not invite you to golf with them or go hunting or to dinner with them. In fact, they are always in pursuit of ways to destroy our unions and the way of life we’ve obtain by being union. One way they are doing this is to use the court system, especially the lop-sided Supreme Court, to take away our union rights and to get more states to vote for The Right to Work, which leaves work...
